By Peter Schwartz
Vol. 4, No. 8, contains the following:
“The Supreme Court vs. Rights”: Two appalling decisions attacking the principle of individual rights: one, upholding “affirmative action”; the other, endorsing regulation of private sexual conduct. “Postscript on Libertarianism”: answers to readers’ questions, such as the difference between Republican and Libertarian candidates, and the impossibility of assessing Libertarianism’s conclusions while ignoring its premises. “A Response”: Why the methodology of The Passion of Ayn Rand is unremittingly non-objective.
Publication date: August 20, 1986
